The market is a showcase of artisan producers, growers and farmers in the Matakana region and is a unique experience everyone loves. There is usually live music and seats and even a dog-sitting service.

Warkworth Shopping

Flowing through the Warkworth township is the Mahurangi River, which was once the lifeblood of Warkworth. A busy stream of sail boats constantly cruising the waterways, trading between the town and Auckland.

Today you can enjoy a stroll alongside the river and visit a range of boutique shops selling fashion, chocolates and crafts.

Visit Shadze of Lace for custom-made clothing, hand crafted by a Leigh local. You can also see their range of designer women’s wear online.
